I know what life's challenges can bring you. I have over 20 years of experience specializing in adult and child trauma, substance use, mood disorders, impulse control disorders as well as providing parental support to caregivers and families with children and adolescents with special needs. My experience has also broaden my knowledge of the medical field which includes co-morbid disorders, such as anxiety and or depression with a serious illness or chronic pain disorders. Through these years I have developed the skills, training, and understanding needed to assist individuals and families in crisis.
I will work closely with you or your family on developing the skills needed to solve whatever challenges you might be facing .
My office is accessible and easy to find. I feel it is a quiet, calm and safe where you can relax and we can work together. It would be a privilege to guide you through life’s challenges and empower yourself to put the pieces back together. Our work together will reflect on what you need as an individual at that moment. Sometimes there may be sessions where you’d like to attain insight about your life or relationships or sessions where you need to problem-solve or reach a different perspective. Other times, there may be sessions where it’s been a tough day, and you need an emphatic and active listener. Whatever the case may be, the sessions focus on you, and they are whatever you need them to be.

My therapeutic approach to helping others
While my clinical background is diverse, your treatment will be tailored to you or your families needs. I work with several modalities; depending on you, these are some modalities or techniques which could be part of our sessions:
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, a form of treatment that focuses on examining the relationships between thoughts, feelings and behaviors. By exploring patterns of thinking that lead to self-destructive actions and the beliefs that direct these thoughts.
- Person Centered Therapy, this is a non directive approach to guide and develop a sense of self where a person can realize how their attitudes, feelings and behavior are being negatively affected and make an effort to find their true positive potential
- Family Systems Theory, which focuses on the impact that different areas of your life have on other parts of your life and your world
- Solution-focused and Strength-Based Therapies, which help you recognize and identify skills, abilities, beliefs, and social networks that support you in being more of who you want to be;
- Trauma Focused Therapy This is a cognitive behavioral approach to trauma. Whether the event involves a single experience, or an enduring or repeating event or events, that completely overwhelm the individual's ability to cope or integrate the ideas and emotions involved with that experience
- Somatic / Body Psychology, which emphasize the reciprocal relationship between your body and mind; this branch of psychology is informed by neuroscience.
